COMEDK UGET 2026 & TS EAMCET Exam Date Clash: How to Appear for Both Exams?
The COMEDK UGET 2026 (May 9) and TS EAMCET (May 9–11) exams are overlapping for several candidates. While COMEDK has no slot booking facility, students can request a date change from TS EAMCET authorities by emailing their hall tickets and proof of registration to the official helpdesk immediately.
The engineering entrance season is hitting a fever pitch, but for thousands of students, a major scheduling conflict has emerged. The COMEDK UGET 2026 and TS EAMCET (TG EAPCET) 2026 are scheduled to overlap on May 9, 2026, leaving aspirants worried about missing out on a seat in top-tier colleges.
However, there is a formal window of opportunity to resolve this. Here is your step-by-step guide to navigating the clash and ensuring you don't lose a year.
The Conflict: Single-Day vs. Multi-Day Exams
The primary issue stems from the differing structures of the two entrance tests:
-
COMEDK UGET 2026: Conducted by the Consortium of Medical, Engineering, and Dental Colleges of Karnataka, this exam is a single-day event on May 9. It will be held in three shifts, and notably, it offers no slot booking facility.
-
TS EAMCET 2026: Managed by JNTUH, the Telangana Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test runs from May 9 to May 11. Because it spans multiple days, the authorities have the logistical flexibility to potentially move a candidate’s session.
How to Request a TS EAMCET Date Change
Since COMEDK cannot change your shift, your best bet is to reach out to the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TGCHE) or JNTUH.
-
Immediate Contact: Do not wait. Reach out to the TS EAMCET helpdesk via their official email or helpline numbers provided on the portal.
-
Required Documents: Attach a digital copy of your TS EAMCET Hall Ticket (released April 27) and your COMEDK 2026 Admit Card (releasing April 29).
-
Clear Subject Line: Use a direct subject line like: "Request for Exam Date Change: TS EAMCET & COMEDK Clash - [Your Registration Number]".
-
Justification: Explain that COMEDK is a single-day exam and provide proof of the clashing time slot.
Crucial Timing: Authorities generally prioritize "genuine cases" where the student provides proof before the final week of the exam. Since the COMEDK admit card releases on April 29 at 2:00 PM, you should send that email the moment you have the document in hand.
